As emerging markets focus on developing green growth models, it is expected that the financial sector, as an important capital provider will be leveraged to work with businesses to manage impacts to the environment and communities and to finance the move to an environmentally and socially sustainable growth model. New risks will need to be assessed and managed and new business products and services developed and deployed. It is expected that a combination of public and private sector approaches will be pioneered. This panel will discuss research, trends and country experiences in support of green growth.

Social conflicts linked to development projects are on the rise in many countries, driven by community concerns about land, livelihoods, benefit-sharing and environmental damage. Social risks can translate into risks to the lending portfolios of FIs through suspended projects, rising costs, construction delays, and threats to future investment. However, adopting sound social risk management practices by FIs is a complex endeavor which is often complicated by the absence of the enabling environment and regulation to create a level playing field for all institutions operating in a market. Financial regulators are well positioned to signal and provide guidance to banks and other financial institutions in the increasingly important area of social risk management. The panel will highlight steps taken by financial regulators to support the financial sector with the development of guidance on assessment and management of social risks. The panel will also include examples and good practices from FIs to social risk, impact assessment and management.

Panel Discussion 4: Greening the Global Financial Ecosystem –Innovations in Insurance, Pension Funds and Stock Exchanges

Moderator: Dr. Michel Canta, Deputy Superintendent of Private Pension Fund Administrators, SBS

• Mr. Simon Clow, Group Head of Stakeholder Engagement
  Strategy, Sustainability, & Public Affairs, AXA (TBC)

The wider financial ecosystem is increasingly aware of the necessity and opportunities of sustainable finance. The insurance sector, pension funds, and stock exchanges in some emerging markets are adopting their own tools, definitions and systems for integrating environmental and social performance management. This trend offers opportunities for synergies between various parts of the financial sector (e.g. harmonization of monitoring and incentives for responsible companies). This session will showcase examples and facilitate a discussion on effective collaboration.

17:30-17:50

Closing Remarks: Mr. Carlos Pinto, Head of Andean Region, IFC
